The rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great
We use Fortinet firewalls for perimeter security at six to seven of our locations It provides extreme perimeter security, especially for VPN and application profiles, and seamless security monitoring through FortiAnalyzer. As a firewall the solution is great, we never had any issues. We saw time…

Good file sharing applications and we have sufficient control; lacking in delegated admin privileges
The main use case of this solution is for endpoint and crypto protection as well as protection against threats like ransomware and zero-day attacks. I'm a senior system administrator The solution has helped us by preventing attacks.  We can control the application usage of users from the…

Useful for containment and taking a triage image
We build our own use cases and those provided by the vendor for specific upcoming attack scenarios. Configuring the rule set using Trellix Endpoint Security is very much flexible based on the IOCs Trellix Endpoint Security is good for doing containment immediately. We can get visibility of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The stability is very good."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer. For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool."
"So easy to deploy and use that you really don't even need their technical support."
"The product interacts well with other Sophos products we have."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
 

Cons

"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Detections could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
"The solution could improve in configuration and the central logging and dashboard."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"The user interface is not responsive."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"The pricing is good."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."

"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
